Using the TURBO and SPRAY function

•For the TURBO function, set the thermostat control to “MAX” or “•••”. Press the TURBO button from time to time – fig.12.

•When you dry or steam iron, press the SPRAY button several times to wet the fabric and remove resistant creases – fig.11.

Vertical steam ironing

•Hold the iron a few centimetres from the fabric to avoid burning delicate fabrics. Every five pulses return the iron to a horizontal position.

•Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand. The steam is very hot, so you should always do this with the garment on a hanger – never iron clothes which someone is wearing – fig.15.

•Set the thermostat control to “MAX”.

•Press the turbo button in pulses – fig.12 and move the iron from the top to the bottom – fig.15.

Additional functions

Autoclean Catalys® soleplate (according to model)

•Your iron is equipped with a self-cleaning soleplate which works by catalysis.

•Its exclusive coating continuously removes all impurities generated by normal use.

•It is recommended that you always place the iron on its base to preserve its self-cleaning coating.

Auto-Off safety (according to model)

•During normal use, the Auto-off light is off!

•The electronic system cuts the base power supply and the orange light located on the display panel flashes if the iron remains still for more than eight minutes on the base.

•To restart the iron, simply press the RESTART button on the display panel – fig.16.

Maintenance and cleaning

Cleaning the anti-scale valve (once a month)

•Be careful! Never touch the end of the rod. The iron will not function without the anti-scale valve.

•Disconnect the base and empty the tank – fig.17.

•To remove the anti-scale rod, set the thermostat at MAX, press the valve extraction button and pull gently upwards – fig.18.

•Let the rod soak for four hours in a glass of white vinegar or natural lemon juice – fig.19.

•Rinse the rod under tap water – fig.20.

•Reposition the anti-scale rod; push the valve until it clicks – fig.21.

Self-cleaning

•Self-cleaning delays scaling on the iron. To prolong the life of the iron, perform a self-clean once a month.

•Plug in the base and reconnect your iron.

•Allow the iron to heat up on the base, with the tank full and the thermostat set to maximum.

•When the green light on the display panel stops flashing, take the iron and place it over a sink. Remove the anti-scale valve (see previous chapter).

•Hold down the variable steam button and shake the iron gently and in a horizontal position, over the sink, until some of the water (and the impurities) have drained through the soleplate.

•At the end of this operation, put the anti-scale valve back in place; push down until it clicks – fig.21.

•Place the iron back on the base to dry the soleplate.

Cleaning the soleplate

Your iron has a self-clean soleplate (according to the model):

•Warning! Use of an abrasive cloth will damage the self-cleaning coating on the soleplate.

•Its exclusive active coating allows it to continuously remove all impurities that may be generated on a daily basis during normal use.

•Ironing with an incorrect program can however leave traces that may require manual cleaning. In this case, it is recommended that you use a soft damp cloth on the still warm soleplate so as not to damage the coating –

fig.22.

Your steam iron is fitted with an Ultraglide soleplate (depending on model):

•Never use aggressive or abrasive products.

•When the soleplate is still warm, wipe with a damp cloth – fig.22.
